Wife says I'm MINI obsessed...
I don't even have my JCW yet and the workbench is piling up with goodies already. Anyone else done the same thing? I mean what else are you supposed to do during that 8 week waiting time. I mean I even ordered wheels already but asked my wife's opinion on a few different ones last night. That way it lets her feel like she has a say, haha.

That's too cool that you were able to watch the ship carrying your new toy through the canal! Ours was stuck off the Southeast Coast for a week waiting out a hurricane in early 2016! I installed the NM module on our F56 JCW in May of 2016. A very simple plug and play unit and now with over 40K miles there have been no issues. In sport mode with the PRO exhaust open it produces 269 HP and 285 FT. LBS. of torque. Enough to be dangerously fun on an extremely twisty road!

I didn’t baby mine much, but I just drove sensibly. If you can keep it out of sport mode for 1200 miles, well good for you! NOT! It makes no difference... just don’t over-rev and drive overly hard is my advice. My 2015 JCW is stock with no add-ons for performance boost and it’s fast enough for me....maybe some day.

I just followed the owner's manual: stayed below 4500 RPM & 100 mph for the first 1200 miles. I used Sport & normal mode, and ran it at a variety of RPMs & speeds, just tried not to exceed the parameters MINI established. A few months after, and the modding began!

Almost here, she's been stuck at the port for 2 weeks cause they couldn't install the pro exhaust. So now the dealer has to do it and they want to charge me for it, I said, "hell no!"
I ordered the MINI that way and that's what I want, so fix it or I'm going somewhere else. So now it was finally delivered to the dealer, more waiting...
